Dr Shumate and his staff are very attentive and professional. They don't make you feel like they have to be in-and-out of your visit/appointment to meet some time schedule, yet somehow they are able to get to me in a reasonable time and seem to stay as long as I need.

Dr Shumate was very concerned about my problem and wants to get started quickly to get answers that are needed. He ordered lab tests and called on Saturday to talk to me about my issues. Very caring and thorough.
